He says that on this report every prophet, including the Prophet Muhammad, was afflicted by the touch of the devil, while the conception of Mary and the blessed conception of Jesus are exempt, which he presents as an echo of the Christian doctrine of the immaculate conception and of Jesus as saviour. He then turns to the Shia and Aisha: Sunnis take issue with the Shia for criticising Aisha, which he says is rightly so, since she was the Prophet's wife and beloved to him and to criticise her is in a way to criticise the Prophet, and he says he will show what Bukhari itself contains about her. ## Sources and names cited - Sahih al-Bukhari 3431 (no child is born without Shaytan touching him, except Mary and her son): https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3431 - Sahih al-Bukhari - Abu al-Yaman - Maryam (Mary) - Isa (Jesus) - Aisha ## Transcript (machine tier, 26:05–28:43) [25:30] clearly made now somebody could say yeah well ok the the raw we just put that in but the whole story look at it trying to say that these wolves speaking arabic cow speak arabic cows don't understand concepts like they don't understand concepts like teleological purpose and you know there's a purpose for this and and moves don't understand also have concepts of like okay like future planning and ok what will happen on that day and animals don't think like this [26:04] for God's sake for God's sake this is okay so let's just take one to others and I'll show you something interesting now check this out people they say hadith in Bukhari hadith number three four three one once again through a boolean man saying shy Akbar nah he didn't say I had nothing on because you know this one I'm not true [26:36] he says mam M Bani Adam ma loot there is no child born from Bani Adam Allah no child every child from adam's offspring including the Prophet every child that is born no child born Allah Yama so Shaitaan ohina unit for yester hello sorry hon face the hill oh sorry honey mustard Shaitaan except the devil touches him oh he is all kind of like pinches him however here it seems to say like touches him and then the child [27:15] screams out crying so they saying this is why whenever a baby is born the baby cries because the devil touches him and there's no child born except he has been touched by the devil later except Oh mashallah so there's an exception oh yeah yeah yeah later Maryam Baba Neha except Mary Blessed Mary and Jesus Christ our Saviour so apart from them - Wow so everybody all of the prophets the [27:53] Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu lives and all these things they've all been inflicted by the touch of the devil but God forbid the the the the Immaculate Conception of Mary and the you know the the the the blessed conception of Jesus they will obviously exempt from this right so this is the the kind of stuff that people and it doesn't like look you know something we say that we have an issue why she are criticized I Cheryl de l'eau and I'm and and that's I feel rightly so like you know she was the wife of the Prophet and to criticize [28:32] her is in a way I feel to criticize the Prophet because at the end of the day she was his wife and beloved to him and the Sunnis have an issue with the Shia about this that you know the Shia go on they disrespectful to eyeshadow the alone but look here look here in Qatar bow for the homos hadith 3 104 and NAFA and Abdullah or the Aloha and that the messenger stood up one day and he gave a hoot ba and he gave a speech so I sure our network mask any Ayesha and he ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment IijbMTxUEOw/s/8. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/iijbmtxueow/s/8/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
